WHAT DID WE DO at Ponichala Youth Center?
We met with young people (age 14-15) interested in Erasmus + and its possibilities. We introduced to them the Erasmus+ Programme and volunteering Opportunities offered by the European Solidarity Corps (ESC). Through our volunteer’s experiences, we talked about WHY to volunteer, HOW to apply, and what the projects look like. We also talked about the financing of projects and if our volunteers learn new skills that will benefit them in the future After a little break and a Tornado energizing game we continued with thematic workshops.
The workshops were a quiz game about Human Rights where we talked about what Human Rights are and why they are important and a game of ‘Pride & Prejudice’ where we learned that it is important not to label people based on stereotypes.
